Who will be Tiger Woods’ next swing coach?
Don’t know yet, but you can place your bets.
In a statement Monday announcing that he and swing coach Sean Foley had parted ways, Woods said that he does not currently have a coach, nor does he have a timetable for hiring one. Nevertheless, Bovada set the odds for Woods’ fourth instructor as a pro (keep in mind these are set to entice bettors):
Butch Harmon: 7/4
Chuck Cook: 9/2
David Leadbetter: 8/1
Hank Haney: 10/1
Jim McLean: 10/1
Todd Anderson: 12/1
Mike Adams: 12/1
Peter Kostis: 12/1
Claude Harmon III: 12/1
Rick Smith: 12/1
Mike Bender: 14/1
Jim Hardy: 15/1
Martin Hall: 18/1
On a slightly less serious note, Irish bookmaker Paddy Power set its own odds, an eclectic group that ranges from Harmon to Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee to ex-wife Elin Nordegren:
Butch Harmon: Even
Chuck Cook: 4/1
David Leadbetter: 7/1
